Revisiting Historic Renovations in Italy and France

House Hunters International wondered what happened to three of our most memorable couples and the historic properties they purchased. Scottish artist Clare Galloway single handedly saved a rattled, medieval townhome in the abandoned village of Guardia Sanframondi, Italy. Susan Gardner fell in love with a whimsical, traditional trullo home in Puglia, Italy but ran into red tape while trying to renovate. Catherine and Franck Vigneron, a Cognac making family from California, found a vintage of house they liked in the birthplace of Cognac but it needed a lot of work to raise its spirits.
